Emiliano Rodolfo Rosales-Birou (born April 8th, 1990), known on YouTube as Chuggaaconroy or Chuggaa, for short, is an extremely popular Let's Player on YouTube that lives in Atlanta, Georgia. On August 18th 2010, just one day after he announced he was teaming up with The Game Station, he obtained YouTube Partnership. To show off his new partnership he posted a message to his fans via Facebook and Twitter to inform them that they could now click on a character in the timeline to view a playlist of their Let's Play. He has had many banners since, including his new Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness logo. After finishing Gale of Darkness, he started and is currently playing Xenoblade Chronicles. Temporarily, he went on hiatus for a month due to a medical issue.

Current LPs

Non LP Games

The Speed Gamers

He does speed-runs of games, such as Earthbound and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door for marathons. He has helped commentate a few times. He also has an account on the TSG forums. He appeared on-camera during the Winter 2009 Pokémon Marathon, wearing a silver mask concealing his face. He also helped out in the recent Mother/Earthbound marathon with TSG, by doing a speed run of Earthbound, and attempting to break the world record. Due to unfortunate circumstances, he did not accomplish his goal. He attended the Mario Marathon on June 11th, 2010 for TSG, to raise money for ACT Today, where he took off his mask and showed his face to the public for the first time.

The RunawayGuys

The RunawayGuys are a group of 3 popular LPers, Chuggaaconroy, ProtonJonSA, and NintendoCapriSun. Together, they do many collaborations and invitational tournaments between themselves and other guest LPers such as JoshJepson, Lucahjin, and SuperJeenius. Chuggaaconroy handles the channel.

BrainScratchComms

Chuggaaconroy has collaborated with the Youtube Channel "BrainScratchComms" for a few projects which include:

Recording the Let's Plays

He records his videos with a Black Magic capture card with component cables for many of his LP's, and edits them with Sony Vegas Pro 10. When he records standard definition game consoles, he uses a Hauppauge capture card.

He does not record farther than a resolution of 480p for most of his videos, that being the games that he is recording do not have a higher resolution than 480p. In most LP's, he uses sidebars or pop ups to display information of things that can be collected, (I.E Stray Beads from Okami, the chance of finding a wild Pokémon in FireRed, Crystal, and Emerald, or the items collected in Pikmin 2). This information is helpful to those who are playing along with him during the LP.

There are some points in his videos that have events that take too long to be shown in real time, so he speeds up the video while playing some video game music, some of which have referenced a future Let's Play.

On October 1st 2011, Chuggaaconroy mentioned on his social networking site that he will begin to upload his videos in 720p, even though the video quality of the games do not exceed 480p. YouTube's compression to the video file will decrease the audio quality as compression is not as high in 720p.

Catchphrases

Chugga has coined some memorable catchphrases. Some have come to be a staple in most of his series. Some were used in one LP, and he references them every now and then. And for a particular one, he groans every time he hears it (most of all when ProtonJon talks about it during a RunawayGuys Super Smash Bros. Brawl episode.). Here is a list of every single quip his viewers have come to love and enjoy.
